Harry's Tap Room

This past weekend, I was in the Washington, DC area. Local friend of mine PSith Master Loweeel of The PSycho's Path recommended Harry's Tap Room in Arlington, VA for brunch, and I would like to share that recommendation with you! It was so fantastic that we ended up there for brunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

Brunch begins every day with a basket of muffins and scones with fresh strawberry compote and cream.


Saturday:
I selected the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Benedict (above), and my companions had the New Orleans Benedict (below) and the Traditional Benedict. Selected libations were Harry's Kir Royale and Classic Sparkling Mimosa.


Sunday:
There were 8 of us on Sunday, and I can't remember what we all ordered. I had the Steakhouse Omelette, various Benedicts were ordered, and the French Toast with fresh strawberries. Coffees all around, and again the Mimosa and Kir Royale found their way to the table, as well as the Weekend at Harry's Coffee.

From the menu:
Harry's Kir Royale - "A classic cocktail with a new flare. Made from sparkling wine and Chambord liqueur, garnished with a sugarcoated strawberry."
Classic Sparkling Mimosa - "Made with fresh-squeezed orange juice and bubbly."
A Weekend at Harry's Coffee - "When you need a wake-me-up and elixir at the same time. Made from Kahlua, Amaretto di Saronno, and Bailey's Irish Cream."

The setting at Harry's is upscale casual, with a friendly atmosphere and terrific staff. The food was all incredible, and unlike many restaurants that just plunk down your food on a plate, the chefs here put effort and thought into their presentations, which always makes the food that much more enjoyable. The portions are quite generous, and made from quality, fresh, local ingredients. The preparations seemed to be simple, but the best flavors were brought out because of this. I would highly recommend that if you're in the area, you visit Harry's and check out their menus - including their lovely wine list.
